I'm not really into the windows and the lights, just looking for something with great air flow and that looks nice and isn't a fortune.

Also looking for a reliable PSU, setup will be Core 2 Q6600, 2-4GB DDR2 800-1066, 2 or 3 SATA2's, 2900pro, x-fi, physx... 2xdvd drives. and some fans.
 
Any color preference? To get the ball rolling:

These are pretty nice... the front vent is a little restrictive, but it's got plenty of room for fans elsewhere. (And most of the other Rosewill cases are similar, but with different front panels. Just look for the 0.8mm SECC models rather than the 0.5mm.)

Or you could always go old school.

Edit: sorry no help on the PSU, I just use cheapies, and I don't really want to take responsibility for recommending any of 'em.

no window, has a blue light in front, but it's not that bright.
comes w/3 120mm fans, with option to add 4 more plus a 80mm fan
